Here it is, my very first UFO finish of 2011 - yep, it's #50 on my UFO list.Celtic Rose is the name of the pattern which I used - from Australian Patchwork and Quilting (Vol 14 No 8).
I used Australian Native Flower prints and put some insulbrite wadding into the quilt sandwich, so hot pots can go straight from the oven onto the table and none of those ugly white burn splotches will appear on the timber table top.
Now, I'm not sure what happened to my photo, but for some reason it just wanted to upload sideways, even though it wasn't that way in the file. Who knows, just a little gremlin inside the PC laughing at me I think.
The photo below shows the quilting from the back. I just love how dark back fabrics, with very light colour quilting thread makes the quilting come to life and gives the quilt a whole new facet.
A project which I started in 2005, is now done, gifted and being used. Perfect!

A beautiful piece - have you considered giving it a spray of scotch guard to ensure that it does not get stained too easily?
It's very beautiful! Good job!
Gorgeous...and what genius to use the insulbrite for hot things.
looks fantastic!
